Climate Cult Wants Every Person’s Carbon Dioxide Emissions To Be Regulated – No More Breathing … For The Planet!

Hans Joachim Schellnhuber, a leading German scientist from the Potsdam Institute for Climate Impact Research (PIK), believes that in order to save the planet from “climate change,” every person’s carbon dioxide (CO2) emissions must be capped and regulated by the government.

Calling the concept a “planetary guardrail,” Schellnhuber contends that every person should have a three-ton CO2 emissions limit per year applied to their daily life. Those who exceed that amount should be forced to pay a fine, he says.

Since every breath a person takes results in CO2 being exhaled in exchange for oxygen, breathing would also have to be regulated. Those who wish to remain under the three-ton cap may need to take fewer breaths, likely resulting in much less exercise and physical exertion in order to keep heart rate low.

Only the rich, based on Schellnhuber’s idea, would be allowed to live normally. The poor would have to really cut back on everything, including breathing, in order to not be fined into oblivion.

@gol979 asks [quote]Can the proponents of this ... tell us the % of CO2 in the atmosphere and let us know what % they want it at[/quote] Yes

Current average atmospheric CO2 levels: 417.2 parts per million.
That's about 50% higher than pre-industrial levels.
In 1990, average CO2 levels were about 355 ppm.

Actually, the Paris Accords set a limit on temperature rise. The Accords agree to limit global temperature rise this century at 1.5 degrees Celsius above pre-industrial levels.

For large industrial countries like the US, that means cutting its greenhouse gas (GHG) emissions to about 50% below 2005 levels by 2030.

In 2005, US CO2 emissions were 19.5 metric tons per capita. In 2021 we emitted 14.24 metric tons per capita That means the US is more than half way to the Paris Accords emission level.

[b]Lemme repeat that - the US CO2 emissions cuts are already more than half way to the Paris Accords levels![/b]

We are on track, and the dire economic predictions of the anti-environemental extremists are proven false.

For a little perspective, here's 800,000 years of GHG data, covering about 7 ice ages. The climate data comes from bubbles in glacial ice, and is corroborated by data from lake & sea floor sediments.

The most salient thing about the 800,000 years of climate data is the rate of change during those previous 7 ice ages compared to the current rate of change this century.
